Overview

• Rosenthal will shut down its Speichersdorf factory by the end of 2026, citing declining demand, overcapacity, and high labor costs.
• Production will be consolidated at the company's main site in Selb, where significant investments in a new factory are planned.
• A 'Porcelain Village' aimed at attracting tourists is also part of the company's strategy to revitalize its business.
• Rosenthal currently employs around 600 people, with job cuts expected; negotiations with the workers' council are ongoing.
• The Selb factory, designed by Bauhaus pioneer Walter Gropius, remains central to Rosenthal’s legacy, which dates back to the 19th century.
